There are probably a lot of people in Barrie right now that are interested in CrossFit, but claim they just don’t have time. And I get it. You're busy; so am I. There simply aren't enough hours in the day. Between your career, your kids, all the social events, and finding time for eating and sleeping, there isn’t a lot of free time left over to indulge in taking care of your own health and fitness.

But maybe with your health on the line, you can learn to rearrange that busy schedule and make room for some ME time. You can't wait for your schedule to open up, because it never will. You have to make the time. And one of your top priorities should now and forever be your health and fitness.

Your ability to function day to day is what makes all that hustle and bustle possible. I can list a ton of reasons why you should workout. Looking good tops the list for a large portion of us, but what it really comes down to is your body’s ability to slow down the aging process. As we age, we slowly break down. Excess weight, poor nutritional choices, lack of mobility...they all contribute to speeding up that process. Choosing to do nothing with regards to your health is choosing to give up years off your life. Lets stay out of the old age home for as long as possible. Who's with me?

CrossFit may not be the answer for everybody, but exploring avenues of fitness is. For most of us, the most popular solution is an inexpensive globo-gym membership. For some of us self-motivated individuals, this is a great and economical option. Having said that, the vast majority of people seeking fitness will have a hard time finding it there, primarily because of the lack of direction or structure. There’s a big reason why personal training and CrossFit group fitness classes help get the best results for it’s participants. You have a full time coach that teaches you, holds you accountable and holds you to a routine. You schedule accordingly. It gives many people the additional push they need to make time for their health.

Finding ways to develop your strength, endurance, and regain the ability to perform functional movements expands an individual’s capacity for daily living. We are all busier than ever these days, so it’s even more important that we find ways that our health remain a top priority for us. When it comes to CrossFit, you gain so much more than just general physical preparedness (GPP). With a 1 hour class, 3-4 days per week, you can regain your confidence, as well as build a new and inspiring network of amazing people. Then you can rest easy, knowing you’re doing your part to contribute to your longevity. You may never HAVE time, so you need to MAKE time.
